Former GT. I have a JD/LLM. I would not suggest working for them if that’s your objective. I was there about 4 years and functioned really as an basic level tax accountant. The Big 4 are much better about getting lawyers into the law side of tax. Feel free to PM me and I will gladly share more details.

Thanks for sharing. I'd reach out but I can't DM here for some reason.

Yes! On my way into the office, but I’ll shoot you an email once I get in!

Hi all, I have the Sales Cloud Consultant exam coming up , Any tips on online study (besides trailhead) from those who already got the cert? Or any Deloitte resources?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Has anyone dealt with stuffing allocation in a non-hedge fund context? It seems even in the HF world the law is fuzzy in using aggregate reverse 704c principles in stuffing allocations. Like, sure, the market is there but no authority really blessed it (other than some Cravath partner’s article in Tax Notes in 2013). If we are talking asset class that isn’t really like marketable securities but might be able to treat it similarly solely by virtue of, say, valuation on a quarterly basis (contd)
